Working on your online degree at home allows you to learn in your own way and will let you retain ownership of how quickly you want to earn your degree. Fully accredited online colleges have earned a widely recognized form of university accreditation from one of the six regional accreditation boards.

Only until recently, students enrolled in online degree programs were ineligible for federal student aid unless at least half of their program was campus based (a law established in 1992 and known as the 50-percent rule) but that has changed. And you want to make sure your online school choice does have accreditation, which means the institution has passed a certain level of standards through a recognized organization for upholding quality education.
